Dr Laura's Notes

Skin Type:

All Skin Types, including sensitive and dehydrated.

This is for you if…

You have a routine in place but your skin still feels tight or flat after cleansing, and you want a prep step that actively supports the barrier before your actives go on. I never knew I needed an essence until I added this to mine. As my skin gets older I need more hydration, and this adds that.

A milky essence with Niacinamide, Ectoin and Squalane that boosts hydration and strengthens the skin barrier.

NIACINAMIDE: Strengthens the barrier, evens skin tone and reduces redness with consistent use.

ECTOIN: A natural antioxidant that protects against UV and environmental stress and calms inflammation, especially on sensitive or reactive skin.

SQUALANE: A skin-identical lipid that replenishes natural oils and supports barrier repair without heaviness.

SODIUM HYALURONATE: Draws moisture into the skin surface to keep it hydrated and comfortable.

STRENGTHENS THE SKIN BARRIER: Niacinamide, Ectoin, Squalane and Phospholipids work together to reinforce and rebuild the barrier with consistent use.
PRIMES SKIN BEFORE SERUMS: The milky texture absorbs quickly and helps actives applied on top absorb more effectively.
CALMS SENSITIVITY AND REDNESS: Ectoin is anti-inflammatory and Niacinamide reduces visible redness, making this a good step for reactive or compromised skin.
BOOSTS HYDRATION: Sodium Hyaluronate and Glycerin draw moisture into the skin surface, leaving it plumped and comfortable after cleansing.

Why It's Phare Approved

The step most people skip between cleansing and serums is one of the more overlooked places barrier damage starts. Essences give you a chance to deliver barrier-supporting actives in a format that absorbs quickly without competing with what follows. This one uses Niacinamide, Ectoin and Squalane in a fragrance-free milky texture built to prime the skin for serums. I stock it for patients whose actives aren't absorbing well, for anyone managing dehydration or sensitivity, and for anyone starting from a compromised baseline.

1. Use morning and night, after cleansing and before serums or other actives.
2. Press a small amount into your palms and apply to face and neck with gentle pressing motions rather than rubbing.
3. Allow a few seconds to absorb before applying vitamin C, retinoids, or other serums.
4. This is a prep and base step. Add your targeted actives on top as normal, then follow with SPF in the morning.
Aqua (Water/Eau), Glycerin, Niacinamide, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Ectoin, Saccharomyces Lysate Extract, Squalane, Phospholipids, Sodium Hyaluronate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Sodium Polyacryloyldimethyl Taurate, Propanediol, Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate, Citric Acid, Xanthan Gum, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin

After cleansing (and toner if you use one), before serums and moisturiser. Press gently onto face and neck, allow to absorb, then continue with the rest of your routine. It works morning and evening.
Ectoin is a natural molecule produced by extremophile microorganisms (bacteria that survive in extreme heat, salinity or UV environments). It acts as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, protecting skin cells from oxidative stress caused by UV exposure and environmental pollution. It's effective for sensitive or reactive skin and helps reduce visible redness and barrier disruption.
Yes. The formula is fragrance-free, clinically tested, and built around actives that are well-tolerated by sensitive skin. Ectoin is anti-inflammatory and specifically beneficial for reactive or sensitive skin types. Niacinamide at appropriate concentrations also works on redness rather than adding to it.
Yes. This essence is a prep and barrier-support step that works well beneath any active serums, including vitamin C, retinoids or AHAs. Apply it first, allow it to absorb, then apply your actives on top.
